Hi @acidyo, I'm a bit "late to market" on this post, but I'll still share a few rambling thoughts. On the "trading" front... having watched this for almost as long as you have, I'm

So sad. Sadly, also the epitome of why I never felt comfortable recommending Hive to anyone. You open to being Facebook friends, instead?

Gotta love those old Mustangs! Fan of older cars, in general, from the days you could actually fix cars without needing a degree in computer science and a bunch of fancy diagnostic gear.

Looks like a really wonderful spot... it's always a beautiful thing when a "retreat" actually turns out to be a genuine retreat, not just a bit of greenery sandwiched in between hustle and bustle.

A wise person once told me that "grieving doesn't come with a schedule," and it looks different for every single person on the planet. It was offered to me after I was trying to process an ostensible

Big hugs and much love back atchoo! ❤️

I like the idea of "non-electronics time;" might have to consider that. Generally, we shut it down between our afternoon coffeetime around 17:00 and somewhat after dinner, maybe 21:30 or so.

It got really bad during 2016... and I have not seen a lot of change since then. Seemed like the 2016 US election brought out the worst in many people's personalities. Very divisive.

For me, the thing about vacation is precisely that I want to stop all the running, not just "transfer" it to a new location! I have never been able to fathom the purpose of taking a holiday that

We definitely need to unplug... and "getting away" is actually good for productivity. I think most European countries have a much healthier approach than the USA. I don't know how it is in Canada...

Sometimes a little moonshine is a good thing...

Thank you!

Well, it's not my doing. The boating festival has been going for 35+ years and is internationally known by now, at least within its particular niche. The visitors consist of about 8,000 to 10,000 actual

Sometimes it's just good for the creative spark to change your process for a while, even if just temporarily.

Thanks Joan! I guess it only makes sense when I consider the fact that I generally don't buy decorative arts online, either!

One thing is for sure, life never happens in a straight line — besides, it would be pretty boring if it did! After you "went," I would occasionally say a silent prayer for protection and for

Jayniiiieeeee! So glad to see this smoke signal from you! I have often wondered how you were doing, after you "went walkabout." Your absence was felt by many who missed you; well I definitely

It's the Neverending Story. Best to just keep growing those crops! 2024 is not so far away... Bitcoin halving time in April.

Same here. I'm very grateful to be self-employed... most of the time, anyway.
